Wanna See How Good an Influence You Guys Have Been?

[Shellie]

I made my first protest. :D

I was searching for fish decor and found this item on Amazon. Here's the picture and my review based on what I have learned on here.

Cruelty to Fish, July 13, 2006
Reviewer: Michelle Bogart (Southern California) - See all my reviews

I am not worried about the fish getting too hot by the light or the bowl breaking. What concerns me is the room. It is a fallacy that they are happy in tiny spaces. If you look a rice paddy in the dry season it may be very narrow but it is miles long! I have actually seen pictures of this. Sometimes they end up in a puddle, yes, but that is not the BEST time in their lives, its the worst! Why put any pet in an environment that is typical of a bad time in its life? Our job as pet owners is to recreate the BEST time in our pets' lives. Please, PLEASE get them at least a ten gallon tank. At the very minimum get them five gallons to swim in. You will be surprised at how much happier your supposedly already happy fish is.

Thats awful. My petstore sells thoughs and these half a gallon wall bowls. Its so cruel.

Good job Shellie!

So many people don't realize how cruel it is to keep a fish in such a small space. To them its normal and okay. But if people speak out about these things, more fish will live better, happier lives. :)

[Shellie]

I knew it was cruel to keep them in a small space, I just didn't speak out. :D Its not in person, but its a start!

[mr gerbil]

Excellent :D . Soon you'll be waving the FLF banner far and wide!

[Shellie]

Erm, what's a FLF banner? lol Fish Life Freedom? Fish Love Freedom? Free Live Fish??

Fish Liberation Front :D *imagines hordes of militants in camo and balaclavas bursting into Pets At Home toting AK-47s..."PUT THE FISH DOWN SLOWLY AND NO-ONE GETS HURT!" *

[Shellie]

LOL They better put them in water though or it won't be very liberating!

[Yorkie Licious1]

Very nice! Good reasearch... great job.

[mynoven]

Well, the bowl is cool looking....but very cruel...maybe a 10 gallon ball like that?! That would be awesome!! LOL @ FLF/AK-47's.....u guys are great!!

[Shellie]

I think a 10 gallon ball would be too heavy to hang like that. Btw, the ad says its a one LITER ball! Poor fish!

[Yorkie Licious1]

Yes... I do admit it looks cool.

I'm not sure how well a ten gallon ball like that would hold up. ;)

[Yorkie Licious1]

Whoops... didn't see your post, Shellie. :o

Hey... I'm sorry to be badly offtopic but... Is that a Yorkie in your avatar?

[Shellie]

LOL Yorkie, I was probably posting same time you were. Btw, did you ever see the pics I posted of my Yorkie?

[mynoven]

wel it would have to have a support stick under it!! 1 Liter?! Holy Crap!! That's small!!

[Yorkie Licious1]

Yes... it is small... and


No I'd LOVE to!!! Where are they (link) :D

[Shellie]

It was the post where the girl was asking about Yorkiepoos. I figured my pics got lost in the arguing.

[Yorkie Licious1]

Ahhh yes... now I remember!!

Doh... :slaps head:

[Yorkie Licious1]

I love Yorkies... and I always want to see pics of them...

i have gotten in a screaming match with the morons at the Hermit Crab Kiosk in the mall. they threatened to call security on me, so i left and filed a formal complaint. the mall manager called me and got the full story and was actually on my side because i informed him of a lot of things about hermit crabs that they were doing wrong and now the kiosk is gone!

[Cottontail]

Good job Shellie! :hug: :biggrin: I don't usually have the guts to tell an employee at a store they're idiots :). I'll do it in a nasty letter, though ;)...and ward off the customers.

Mr G, how can you go to far if you're already gone? :p

That's great Sorathien! Certainly beats going for the middle man. Atleast you got a good stretch of the vocal cords :D.

[mr gerbil]

Sounds good everyone ;) .

[Yorkie Licious1]

HAHAHAHA... Sora... this is HermieMaster5's other account... you have me rolling on the floor laughing... ROFL!

Ha... thanks Shellie... lol... lol...
